Journal Entry:

Cathy spent the day yesterday with Meredith, Erica and Erica's cousin, Winnie (visiting from Texas). They had a good time shopping and having lunch at the Trellis Cafe at Thanksgiving Point.

Since Cathy had the car, I walked to Walmart - approx 3 miles round trip  - and got a new ironing board cover. Fir some reason, when we moved here, Cathy gave me the good iron and ironing board and she kept the newer ironing board and a new iron both of which are not as good as the old ones she gave me. Actually her ironing board is good but it needed more passing and a new cover so I went and got that at Walmart. After installing it I have to say it is really great. Might even be a little better than the one I had been using. I gave her my iron and took hers because she irons almost every day and I iron maybe once or twice a month.

Then we had a metal strip along our front lawn to separate it from a garden patch that is actually covered with gravel. I don't like the gravel but that's another story. The metal strip was cheap and beginning to look bad so I had purchased a new strip made out of a flexible substance similar to plastic. I installed it yesterday and it looks a lot better. I'm kind of sorry that I didn't photograph the old strip but here is what it looks like now.

The old metal strip is now in the trash.

So I had a pretty good day. It got really hot so I spent the rest of the day relaxing inside. I folded some laundry after resting for awhile. So I was pretty productive.

Today is Sunday and I'm looking forward to Sacrament meeting and Elders Quorum.

Come Follow Me 

D&C 76:107 When he shall deliver up the kingdom, and present it unto the Father, spotless, saying: I have overcome and have trodden the wine-press alone, even the wine-press of the fierceness of the wrath of Almighty God.

With all that I know regarding my Savior's atoning sacrifice, saying that I'm grateful to Him seems inadequate. I know I need to love and serve others and I try to do that. I want to be His disciple in every way and I'm blessed to be able to do that every day in some small way. It's a great feeling to love and serve others. I'm blessed also with a wife who is completely supportive of that and who is also a loving disciple of Jesus Christ.
